Lithium Niobate Modulator Transmitter Module 30 GHz

The LNTM is a high-performance laser transmitter/converter module designed for analog photonics applications spanning 10 MHz to 30 GHz, featuring high extinction >20dB. It integrates a lithium niobate waveguide modulator, a distributed feedback (DFB) laser, and an automatic bias controller. The automatic bias controller eliminates drifts caused by environmental temperature variations or extended operation, having four operation modes: Q+ and Q- for quadrature points with positive or negative slopes, ideal for linear analog modulation, and Min and Max for minimum or maximum points, optimized for pulse generation in digital modulation. Powered by a single 12V DC supply, the LNTM provides a versatile, reliable solution for RF-over-fiber (RFoF) system integration, enabling precise and stable signal transmission.

Application context

Why this design is used

Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.

Optical modulation

Lithium Niobate Modulator Transmitter Module 30 GHz: Optical modulation depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1551.11nm, 1562.22 nm, External Laser wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (FC/APC, Special) must match the connected components. The 30GHz dynamic specification sets the usable control bandwidth.

Time-resolved measurement

Optical interface and fiber
Fiber Connector: FC/APC, Special
Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Wavelength and loss budget
Laser Wavelength: 1551.11nm, 1562.22 nm, External Laser
Check the Optical Modulators passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
